[comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc] PCNFS pritner output coming to screen?

ted@arsocomvax.socom.mil (Ted Nolan) (04/09/90)

Hello folks,

We having an intermittent problem here with ours PCs running Sun's PCNFS 3.0.
What happens is that sometimes printer output which is supposed to be directed
to a network printer starts scrolling across the user's screen instead.
The next time they try to print, it will probably work fine.  We are using
programs which produce PostScript output (WordPerfect, Enable,
Harvard Graphics etc), but are not mounting in PostScript mode since our
spooler is able to recognize all of these as PostScript without help.

Any thoughts?  Fixed in 3.0.1?


				Thanks,

We had the same problem. A quick fix was to dismount and remount the printer
resource. A real pain, but let the user print the document that was
currently failing.

Yes, it is fixed in the 3.0.1!!!!
